An exciting new cheese from Bavaria has made its way to our shores. Called Konigskase (King's Cheese), it is made from milk taken from cows that are exclusively raised on mountain farms in protected regions. In this pristine environment, the cows only feed on fresh grass or hay. The cheesemakers use unpasteurized milk and produce different varieties of hard and semi-hard cheeses using completely natural methods, free from preservatives. Their specialties include King's Cheese, which is moderately aromatic and royally delicious, and King Ludwig's Bierkäse (beer cheese), which is brushed with dark beer during maturation. King's Cheese has a golden yellow appearance and a semi-hard texture. It is perfect for slicing and melting, making it an ideal candidate for sandwiches and fondue.

One of the freshest cheese's I've tasted. Love the fact it's Grass-Fed,not Grain-Fed. Better order before the season's up and you have to wait til next year.

Konig Ludwig King's Cheese

I gave this as a gift to my Husband for his Birthday. We shared it with fruit and German pumpernickel bread as our nachtish, (Night Table).Delicious, so flavorful & creamy.A little expensive but we enjoyed it very much.

Very Tasty 'stinky' cheese!

I ordered this to be served as an hors d'oeuvre at an Oktoberfest party that we put on in Oct. I put out a few plates of assorted German cheeses with sliced German style salamis, liverworsts, rye breads and fruit. This cheese was the first one gone! It is a 'stinky' cheese, but not everwhelming, like some, and the taste is strong, but pleasant, not overwhelming. I will order this again!

a not so plesant surprise

I ordered several cheeses this time around. I was happpy with all the others I chose but was not prepared for the pungent aroma of this one. I could not get the smell off my hands. I actually thought it might be spoiled but being that I like some stinky cheeses I ate through the smell. I did not like the taste of this cheese either. I found it bitter, and offensive. I was interested to read that some people actually enjoy this cheese. It must be an aquired taste...

Superb!

Excellent example of German artisan cheese. Not as pungent as some, but still delivers a wealth of flavor. While this cheese is great when enjoyed on its own, a personal favorite for me is adding it to twice baked potatoes with red onion.
